New neo owner looking for growing & culture tips
I've recently come into a lot of orchids and one of them is a little Ascf. Twinkle x Neof. falcata 'White Flamingo' AM/AOS (according to the tag). Since I can't quite figure out what Ascf. Twinkle means, I figured I'd focus on the Neof. falcata part and this looked like a good place to get tips!
When I got him there was a flower spike and I didn't have any sort of bud blast. They were tiny white flowers and lasted about a week or two. I've got him potted in some medium bark and he seems to be gripping well. Floating around the forum it looks like I should have put him in moss? I'm watering about every other day, but the humidity has been pretty low around here lately (although, it's at 75% and 58F at the moment).
Right now I've got most of my orchids, shaded, on my back patio and I'm trying to build a shade bench. I'm not sure of the average light readings, but I'm getting a meter today. Temperatures are running from the upper 50s at night to the 70s-80s during the day. Is this an ok culture to grow in? Anything else I should be aware of?
Thanks for any and all help!
(The grower had this to say on their website: Ascf. Twinkle has Neof. falcata as a parent, and it is very fragrant on its own. The Neof. falcata used here is a very large-flowered one which we have used extensively in our breeding program with great results. This hybrid should bring us some interesting progeny, all of which should carry the Neofinetia "tail" and its fragrance!")
